According to a report published by the London School of Economics and written by Joan O’Mahony, the Pope in his position as Cardinal and head of the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith knew of the existence of married priests in the Czech church in 1990.
The problem arose because Czechoslovakia was under strict Communist rule for 40 years, and launched a crackdown on Catholic clergy. Under the Communist regime, a “secret clergy” or “underground” church developed when Czech bishops took over the clandestine ordination of men whom the state refused to approve for ordination. This was a requirement of the Czech State at the time.

Last year when I ran with a story and interviewed Leslie Laskow, a Dutch expert on the Darfur region of Sudan and human right’s activist for Human Rights Watch, Leslie spoke about the problem of “child soldiers” in Sudan, and she stressed that children as young as twelve years of age were being recruited for military purposes.
A year later, and the problems of child soldiers have resurfaced in yet another African country – the Côte d’Ivoire. According to a recent report put by the Human Rights watchdog security forces in the Côte d’Ivoire are robbing and extorting money from citizens at checkpoints, and that they have even progressed to extrajudicial executions.

Children as young as 12 are fighting in the Darfur region of Sudan according to Leslie Leskow, a spokeswoman for the watchdog ‘Human Rights Watch’.
She explained that, “rebel movements and the central government in Khartoum are locked in a devastating campaign against farmers in the Darfur area, and there have always been differences between these two groups”. It is unclear if the children are recruited directly to participate in the conflict, but concerned observers are closely monitoring the situation. Many are orphans whose parents have been killed in the fighting.

Cabra residents are determined that Dublin City Council won't beat them on the Bin Tax after battling for over 5 years. The Cabra/Dunard/Navan Road Campaign against the Bin Tax have organised residents on any roads affected by non-collection to dump their own waste into the bin trucks. People are sick of the ever increasing stealth taxes being imposed on them and have chosen the double tax of the bin charges as an issue to take a stand. ... read full story / add a comment

Prosecuting the police involved in the Aubonne Case

In June 2003, an affinity group of people from around Europe, including Irish, German, French, British, Dutch and Belgium blockaded the Aubonne Bridge with a climbing action in order to stop a G8 delegation from reaching the summit in Evian. The police cut the climbing rope and nearly killed two activists. Now the policeman who cut the rope and his senior officer are in court. They are charged with body harm with negligence… ... read full story / add a comment

Cuba, Eritrea, Myanmar (formerly Burma), Iran, Nepal, Zimbabwe, and China. What do these countries have in common? They are all far apart, but they all share the same warped ideological front towards press freedoms. They are all in the process of denying press freedom, through the imprisonment of journalists, and by their actions, they are undermining the very fabric of society and basic democratic rights. ... read full story / add a comment

The recital given last night by Bettina Jensen and Karola Theill in The Peppercanister was their first in Ireland. Almost certainly it will not be their last. It was "an education" for the (older) people in the audience. Maybe the performance would have been lost on younger people. However there were one or two young people there - like concert pianist Finghin Collins who really seemed to be caught up in the performance, engrossed and happy. ... read full story / add a comment

Ongoing tale of how the State likes to criminalise those who show the State's criminal acts to be what they are. This time the tail is attached to a very rabid pitbull that the defendants unleash into the courtroom, and who proceeds to tear a hole into the whole saga and offer some sunlight to the defendants. Conor Cregan immediately runs for the sunlight and in no time gives the State a kick in the pants it has long deserved. ... read full story / add a comment
